Lance Armstrong

Hundreds of samples taken from riders in this summer's Tour de France found no signs of doping, officials say. The epic race, which was put on for the hundredth time in 2013, has been at the center of recent doping scandals.

Anti-doping officials say they took 202 blood and urine samples before the race began, and an additional 419 during competition. Nearly 200 of those samples were taken with the goal of creating a "biological passport" for riders, to establish a baseline of their body chemistry.

Tomorrow marks the 100th edition of the Tour de France and Lance Armstrong — despite being stripped of his 7 Tour de France titles — still believes he's the race's greatest contender.

According to the French newspaper Le Monde, Lance Armstrong said he still considers himself the record-holder of tour victories despite being stripped of his titles this year after admitting to doping allegations.

Try as he might, Lance Armstrong just can’t return to competitive sport.

Armstrong was slated to compete in the Masters South Central Zone Swimming Championships this weekend at the University of Texas. But the executive director of U.S. Masters Swimming tells the AP the former cyclist decided not to swim after international swimming authorities objected.

Armstrong is under a lifetime ban from the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency for using performance enhancing drugs.
